Antabuse
 
Does anyone know how much an Antabuse tablet costs in the US? I don't have insurance so would have to pay full price. I looked on line but could only find those "on line pharmacies" that don't require a prescription. I'm leery of those. I would have to pay to go to a Dr. and may be turned down. And maybe I can't afford it either. Just trying to do a little research.

Have you asked the pharmacist at the drug store? They should be able to look it up for you, or make a phone call, if you can get past the machine!

From what I remember it was about 2 to 4 dollars a pill. They are not cheap!

We can get them free here if on a Medical Card. I would'nt ever touch them again 'tho. I was prescribed the wrong dosage and nearly died!
Honestly, just saying no to alchohol is better then all the prescriptions in the world.
Just keep saying, no, no, no. You have to anyways if you're on Antabuse!

they are pretty costly..i was on antabuse for a bit and remember it being over $100 for perhaps a months worth.
however, i don't want to discourage you from finding a way to be sober. there may be programs in your state that help with the cost.
whatever you do, i wish you well on your journey:)
